Agbayani's tie-breaking two-run single in the eighth inning was the key hit as the Lotte Marines beat the Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks 4-2 on Wednesday in the first game of the Pacific League championship series in Japan.

Agbayani and the rest of the Lotte Marines will finish out of the playoffs in Japan's Pacific League after the league decided not to make up games cancelled in a weekend strike on September 18-19, the Japan Times reports.
